Course Information

Being a successful landlord takes a thorough understanding of more than just how to manage a tenancy. Increasingly, landlords must take into account the planning status of their portfolio, how they are permitted to use a property, and whether a new investment is likely to represent a fantastic opportunity or a mill-stone as a result of a lack of permitted development.

This one-day training course will help you gain a thorough understanding of the planning process, and how to use it to your benefit. It is a must for landlords considering a change of use, or anyone letting to sharers – whether you believe this forms an HMO or not!

We offer a comprehensive toolkit to equip you to deal with the complexities of applying for and obtaining planning permission; as well as how to appeal should things not go to plan first time.

We will guide you through:

Recognising when planning permission is required

Due process when additional permission is not required

Submitting a planning application

Conducting a site appraisal

Who’s who in the world of planning professionals

Addressing town and country planning theory and practice, planning expert David Forbes will cover specific topics including:

An introduction to planning permission

The legal framework governing planning

How to include planning considerations in your project or business plan
